Have you been persecuted?

[Guest BacKaran]

Hi,

How long have you been saved and have you ever experienced suffering, persecution of mocking?

Please share your experiences.

If not, why not?

Not enough to complain about

Yeah I don't feel persecuted as of yet. I am sure that day will come to the US but for now no I do not feel persecuted.

Yes, I quickly learned that my husband was not saved.  His dad hated Christians.  He shoved his fist in my face, mocked me, and my mother in law kicked me off their property for quoting a Bible verse to her sister.  My husband took my car keys and prohibited me from attending church. It was 11 year till he was saved.  I was saved in 1957, the best I can remember.  It was the beginning of the 8th grade.  

Others have called me names like more holy than thou or goody two shoes.  They were leading sinful lives that I wasn't even aware of.  

All of this taught me that I have to allow Christ to live in me to love the unlovable and  forgive the unforgivable.  I can't do it in my own strength.

My mom's entire side of the family (Roman Catholic) despise me and consider me a "heretic" for getting saved. It's one of several reasons I had to move literally across the country, as they sought to hunt me down and in their own words: "force him back into the fold even if it kills him". I suffered injuries because of it.

You know it's the Holy Spirit convicting them of their sins when they say YOU think you are holier than thou.... It offends them so they get angry with YOU since they're not living right and they know it.

I saw my dad in the nursing home today and i answered his phone, it was my sister, like she knows my voice, so I say hello and she says Dad??? Rilly? She just can't say hi to the widowed sister after five years, sad on her part but that's just less drama in my life.

Just like you mentioned, love theunlovablee cuz I used to be just like them....?

Yowm, was he doing the same things as you? Maybe in private? That's interesting but sad.?

My step dad who is an atheist but lives a regular clean type of life, tolerated me with no qualms when I was smoking pot, hashish, dropping acid, gambling, occult etc., but when I came to know Jesus all of a sudden I was a 'good for nothing' and he was serious about wanting to commit me to a mental institution.

So he was okay with everything that was worldly, but turning to Jesus was more than he could put up with? Wow.

Nor do I.  I have had people say they don't care about God and are somewhat resentful toward people who speak of Him, no I can't say I have.
